Claire - Two Months

Our baby girl is already two months old! Time sure flies when you are having fun.

Two month stats:9 pounds 9 ounces (25%)22.25 inches (50%)

You really jumped up on the height chart - from the 30th percentile to the 50th! Maybe you will be a tall girl after all. Hopefully you will be taller than your mama. You had to get 3 shots at the doctor's office and I made dad hold you. You squealed and cried and I felt so bad I wanted to cry. I don't like seeing my baby girl in pain or upset. Here is what I want to remember from your second month:

You finally really like your playmat. You will bat at the monkey when I lay you down. We go over all the animal names every day.

You continue to roll from your belly to your back. Even the pediatrician noted how strong you were on your belly.

You still love tummy time but always want to roll over.

You are starting to like your swing a little more but not for long periods of time unless you are asleep.

We started using cloth diapers this month and they are going great. We go through about 7 every day. We still use disposables at night and if we are on the road.

You are starting to really smile and laugh when talked to. Your dad and I both love trying to get those dimples out of you.

You like your baby carrier in small doses - usually only with dad. Dad will hold you while he is working in the office.

You still love going for walks both in the stroller and in mom's arms.

We started feeding you one bottle every night so dad can have some bonding time. You still love to eat.

You are such a good sleeper. We can usually count on at least one good 6 hour sleep stretch every night.

You went on your first big shopping trip with mom, grandma, aunt Marcy and Gavin. We bought new dresses for both of your uncles' weddings.

You attended your first wedding! Uncle Eric got married and you had the prettiest red dress and matching flower headband. You were such a good girl and everyone loved meeting you.

You like dancing with mom in the afternoons. We turn on some country music and dance around the family room.

You still sleep in your rock-and-play sleeper in our bedroom. I love having you close by.

You are starting to tolerate (maybe even like?) bath time. No more tears makes for a very happy mommy.
